BWW Reviews: Stages St. Louis's Elegant and Charming MY FAIR LADY
MY FAIR LADY is a venerable warhorse of the stage, and though it used to be performed with a frightening degree of regularity, it's been a while since I've seen it, other than catching the film version on TCM recently.
BWW Reviews: HotCity Theatre's Moody Production of ENTERTAINING MR. SLOANE
Playwright Joe Orton's writing career was brief, ending abruptly when he was bludgeoned to death in 1967.
BWW Reviews: Mustard Seed Theatre's Wonderful Presentation of THE PURPOSE PROJECT: THAO'S LIBRARY
Elizabeth Van Meter's The Purpose Project: Thao's Library is a true story that genuinely touches the heart.
BWW Reviews: Max & Louie Productions' Darkly Funny THE LYONS
Playwright Nicky Silver's Broadway-break through, THE LYONS, is a black comedy that focuses our attention on the titular dysfunctional family.
BWW Reviews: Theatre Lab's Terrific Production of THE SUNSET LIMITED
Playwright Cormac McCarthy has crafted an intriguing work with THE SUNSET LIMITED, and even though he skimps on fully developing his characters, there is still plenty to chew on here.
BWW Reviews: MARY POPPINS Wows at The Muny
The current production of MARY POPPINS that's playing at The Muny is 'practically perfect', featuring some nice special effects, a wonderful set, and terrific performances that manage to capture the spirit of the 1964 Disney film, as well as the P.
BWW Reviews: Stray Dog Theatre's Darkly Funny Production of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
I love horror movies, especially the kind of cheesy stuff from the 1950's and 1960's that director Roger Corman was famous for.
BWW Reviews: The Muny's Captivating Production of LES MISERABLES
Victor Hugo's novel, LES MISERABLES, was re-imagined in the early 1980's as a very successful musical (lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer (adapted from the French text by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel) and score by Claude-Michel Schonberg)) that has continued to captivate audiences.
BWW Reviews: SOUTH PACIFIC Sparkles at The Muny
Rodgers and Hammerstein's SOUTH PACIFIC is a lavish and impressive show filled with gorgeous melodies, many of which have become standards that you'll find yourself humming on the way home from The Muny.
BWW Reviews: Insight Theatre Company's Nicely Mounted 1776
It's only fitting that while we're celebrating Independence Day there's a production of the musical 1776 being staged by a local theatre group.
BWW Reviews: NUNSENSE Muny Style
Knowing full well it's popular reputation, but having seen only one production, I had moderately high expectations for The Muny's take on Dan Goggin's musical comedy, NUNSENSE.
BWW Reviews: Charming Production of DISNEY'S CINDERELLA By Stages St. Louis
Nearly everyone is familiar with the tale of CINDERELLA.
BWW Reviews: Cute and Funny Production of SHREK THE MUSICAL at The Muny
The original animated film Shrek was a kind of adult fairytale, though it was obviously aimed squarely at the youth market as well, successfully spawning a franchise with sequels and merchandising galore.
BWW Reviews: St. Louis Actors' Studio's Intimate and Engaging Production of KING LEAR
Shakespeare's KING LEAR can be interpreted in any number of ways.
BWW Reviews: The Muny Opens Season with Funny Production of SPAMALOT
Torrential rains beforehand, a late start, and even technical issues couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the cast SPAMALOT, which is currently playing The Muny.
BWW Reviews: Stray Dog Theatre's Spellbinding Production of SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION
Stray Dog Theatre returns to their roots during their 10th anniversary season by presenting the first play they ever produced; John Guare's SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION.
BWW Reviews: The Black Rep's Funky and Fresh Production of THE WIZ
While I'm well acquainted with L.
BWW Reviews: New Line Theatre's Hilarious Production of BUKOWSICAL
Scatological, unpredictable, and oddly whimsical at times, BUKOWSICAL is not easily defined or categorized, and that's actually part of its appeal to me.
BWW Reviews: Lively and Fun ANYTHING GOES at the Fox Theatre
The award-winning revival of ANYTHING GOES (music/lyrics by Cole Porter, original book by Guy Bolton and P.
BWW Reviews: Upstream Theater's Triumphant Production of AN ILIAD
Writers Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare have concocted an intriguing take on Homer's The Iliad (translation by Robert Fagles) with their brilliantly interactive work, AN ILIAD.
BWW Reviews: Max & Louie Productions' Splendid MRS. MANNERLY
There's something about playwright Jeffrey Hatcher's writing style that I can connect with.
